US police have arrested a 12-year-old boy for the murder of his eight-year-old sister, in a case that attracted national media attention and prompted an intense manhunt.
Police were initially searching for an armed intruder for the April 27 murder of Leila Fowler, based on testimony from her brother, who was the only other person home when she was stabbed. But in a statement released on Saturday night, the sheriff's office said they had instead settled on the brother, himself, as their suspect.
Fowler was killed while she and her brother, whose name has not been released, were alone at their home in Valley Springs, a rural town near Sierra Nevada mountains in San Francisco.
